YouGov, Branded Surveys

In February, 2022, Populuslive rebranded itself as Y Live.

Y Live, part of Populus Limited, based in the UK, is a popular market research company. The panel was established in 2003 with a presence that has grown to 75 countries worldwide. The panel does research in the business, culture and politics sectors. Joining the community is simple - start by filling out a short and simple registration form.

Payment and Rewards

Earn £1.00 for Every 5 Minutes

Y Live gives its members the opportunity to earn £1.00 for every 5 minutes they spend on a survey. Depending on the length, most surveys pay between 1 to 3 points each (1 point = £1.00) and take usually about 5 to 15 minutes to finish. Please note that rewards will only be credited to your account once the survey is closed. This could range from one day to three months, depending on the research and nature of the study.

Cash in at £50.00

Once you have accumulated 50 points (£50.00) you are eligible to request a cheque or a BACS payment at the next payment date. The payment date is at the end of each month and if you requested a cheque, it will arrive within two weeks after this date. BACS payments typically take a few days to arrive. On average, Y Live issues 3000 monthly cheques to members who have reached the threshold for payment.

Survey Taking Experience

Survey Taking Details

Surveys with Y Live are designed to be interesting and varied on subject matter. Most members will receive about two survey invitations weekly to express their opinions and insights on a given topic. Participate early! Once survey space is filled, you will not be able to answer.

Monthly Prize Draws

Each time you screen out of a survey - which may happen if you do not meet the required participant profile, you will be automatically entered into the monthly prize draw of £250. The draw will take place on the second Monday of each calendar month and winners are notified within 4 weeks of the draw taking place.

Eligibility: Open to residents of the UK only. 16+

Really like this site

March 2, 2015 by Elle from United Kingdom

It is one of the few survey sites which offers very fair pay and the surveys are actually interesting. So far I have had about 4x £50 from them over the last couple of years. I suspect there will be more surveys as the UK elections draw near.
Would recommend...

Be careful with this one

February 28, 2015 by Leo from United Kingdom

I completed a few successful surveys, not well rewarded for the time but ok.
Then I completed a survey that was lost, c-s could not locate it.
Finally, I was completing a very long one, at the end I made a mistake with repetitive demographics questions, one was a kind of tricky questions, and survey was invalid.
I like the herring questions because it keeps results true and valid, however, that one was a repetitive question, formulated in a misleading way, at the end of a survey that was anyway a long one, and much longer than stated, which makes the survey poorly rewarded, and they don't care about you being a human being who after 55 min survey can feel a little tired and 'used'.
Of course, c-s did not bother to check what I did explain. So I don't bother with them any further.

Never any problems.

February 20, 2015 by Kimberly from United Kingdom

Fantastic survey site, pay out far more than any other site for your time. They've recently added some logic questions to weed out the people who steam through without caring for their answers, but as long as you pay attention, it's all good. Surveys are always well thought out, and typically about politics, which I thoroughly enjoy giving my opinion for :p Highly recommended for a bit of spare cash

One of the Best

May 24, 2014 by Terry from United Kingdom

Have been with populus for quite a while now and can't fault them. Survey length is never to long and well paid for them plus interesting and well put together surveys. Collected £200 so far and well on my way to the next £50

best ever

To cut the long story short, they are the best of the best. U can never ask for more than they provide
